Abstract
A brake-by-wire brake system for a vehicle having at least two wheels which can be braked is specified. The brake system comprises at least two brake actuator units, which each have a brake actuator assigned to one of the wheels, which can be braked, for the purposes of braking the vehicle during driving operation. The brake system furthermore comprises a driver brake actuation unit for actuation by the driver for a braking operation, having at least one sensor for detecting an activation of the driver brake actuation unit by the driver, and at least one electronic control unit which is configured to activate one or both brake actuator units in order to impart a braking force to an associated wheel, wherein the driver brake actuation unit is coupled, for transmission of signals, to the at least one electronic control unit. The driver_brake actuation unit has an interface for a controller that is independent of the brake system. A vehicle having a brake system, and a method for operating a brake system, are also specified.
